Massillon Baptist Temple

[DB135]

A discussion of the fundamental Baptist faith as practiced by Pastor & Administrator Cecil Thayer at the church, college and Christian School.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

What are your concerns? Especially as there is no "fundamental Baptist faith". There are Fundamental Baptists, with "Fundamental" denoting a sizable subset of the larger Baptist movement.

This is the situation as I see it. Take it for what its worth because all I can do is pray for anyone who is working in this type of situation. Dismiss it out of hand at your peril.

I don't know any of the people in this post. This is the airing of dirty laundry. Basically gossip. Why was it posted?

This is the situation as I see it.

Have you gone to these people alone and obeyed Matthew 18?

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Here is the order:

Alone.
One or two more.
Tell it to the church.

Nowhere does it say blab it all over the internet.

This is a board for the Christians to air their grievances to correct problems. It does no good for those to respond who have no knowledge of the facts!

That is no excuse for violating Matthew 18.

I am an Administrator on the Baptist Board and one of my responsibilities is to monitor what is posted. And when Matthew 18 is violated I will point it out.

No, it is not. This Board is NOT a place to violate Matthew 18.

I have a knowledge of Matthew 18, which you have violated.

Don't do it again.

DB, Are you a member of this church?

This is a FACT that needs to be established

Salty and I are both on the Admin team. We both concur with Brother Cassidy.

The post clearly describes the situation was ignored after bringing it to the church!

I'm a retired police officer and a born again Christian member of the Massillon Baptist Temple as well as the Fellowship of Christian Police Officers.

I don't engage in idle gossip and rumors much less liable or slander!

Who are the Independent Baptists, and what do they believe?

Then walk away. But gossip is not the solution.
